Arbitration and Mediation

In many cases involving construction accidents, mediation or binding arbitration is used in place of the usual workers’ compensation process. Because of this, there is no involvement of a workers’ compensation judge, so it is vital to have an experienced attorney represent you. Our experience also allows us to effectively represent our clients and to walk out them step by step through both the arbitration and mediation processes, so that they fully understand what is going on and what their options are.

Union Experience

Many construction jobs involve labor unions. Often, the contractual clauses that require arbitration or mediation are found in the unions’ collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Our lawyers have extensive experience working with California unions and CBAs, and we apply this experience to construction accident cases to effectively represent our clients.
